What would you replace the BM with? (Within reason)
I think this would have to be my choice. The lines, the poise, the power. Turn up in this and the world is your oyster.

I spent most of my money on whisky, women and Z3's. The rest I just wasted.

I thought these were supposed to be "within reason". DB9 would have my vote every time outside of reason.trickyb wrote:I think this would have to be my choice. The lines, the poise, the power. Turn up in this and the world is your oyster.
I read that JCB landspeed diesel thing hit 350mph on its second run?

Im fancying an Ultima self build - 400+hp and 900kg for £30k. A guy at work has just built one. An entirely practical way to die smiling
If the lotto delivers then Zonda time. Got overtaken by one last time in Italy with a SL55AMG following him . The deisel Focus hire car couldnt keep up.

Z3M with a few mods...and a little bit more power
Paul - I've seen the SRT, someone in town has one, personally I don't get the truck thing. I'm not a builder and don't need an open back truck, even with that engine, nice noise though.
I think a 4-5 yr old 996 turbo, 60K will get a good un.
For those of you with M's - bugger all comes close for the money, you have to spend a lot more money to get a significant leap in performance, I'd just supercharge my M.
I notice some of you are cheating - Paul said sensible money - Pagani?

There are certainly faster things out there for similar money, but you either have to put up with poor reliability (TVR Tuscan) or something very impractical (Caterham R300/ R400/ R500). Then there are the souless Jap crap cars such as the Mits EVO FQ340. All faster than the Z but not sure I could replace the M with one (although the >02 Tuscans are supposed to be much better than the earlier ones and an FQ340 might be a lot of fun over winter!!)For those of you with M's - bugger all comes close for the money, you have to spend a lot more money to get a significant leap in performance

My wife sold her MX-5 last week because she says we can't justify 2 convertibles and she's fallen in love with our new Fiesta 1.4 turbodiesel.
Having said that we've done 2,000 miles in 5 weeks just running around in it and 52mpg with adequate performance and aircin ain't half bad

One of my friends has just got rid of his mk1 elise.
I drove it and found i didn't have the seat fully back - the pedals are well in - but my head brushed the rag top. I'm 6'2".
It's just too impractical, and whilst it does everything it's meant to do - and is great on a track - just the leaks, the lack of a 'real' boot, the noise, the indignity when climbing in and out when the roofs on, was enough to sell it after 1 year.
The mk2 may be slightly different - i know it's heavier - but it's unlikely to change my mind about owning one. Keep my Z thanks
He's got a 5 series now - a bit of a change

I've got a brand new Elise as a hire car while mine's been repaired, its fun and it goes round corners like mad, but I'd never trade the M for one.
Some inconsiderate prick parked their car half a foot off the drivers door yesterday at the local Tesco carpark... I had to roll the side of the roof up and climb in that way.
If I had paper and a biro I'd leave them a note!

A dream
OK I'm dreaming but couldn't resist posting this.
